Fluke 52 old school

i still use that DMM/thermometer for volt readings as i measured it against some expensive Fluke my mate uses for work and it was on par with it

Think maybe its to do with the "1V differential" thing that the manual talks baout - can you check on yours Bench?

Try putting a new 9v battery in, some meters when batter gets low the meter reads 2 probes incorrectly.
